Present: Mayor Gandolfo Trustee Alter Trustee Cicchetti Trustee Rey Trustee Hyland Trustee Marren Trustee Treacy James Hahn, Engineer Lucille Sacchi, Planner County Dept. of Planning Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator John J. Hughes, Jr., Village Attorney The purpose of this meeting was to review the Beekman Avenue Sidewalk bids in order to award the project to the lowest bidder at tonight's Board meeting. Both Mr. Hahn and Ms. Sacchi stated that the bids submitted were competitive. They also stated that Bradhurst's price for asphalt was an excellent one and that they have done excellent jobs in the past on other projects. Trustee Marren wanted to know why the bid is $100,000. more than the original specs. Ms. Sacchi stated that the lighting portion of the bid came in much higher than the original specs from last year, due to the inflation value. It is impossible to forsee unknown conditions which they are not aware of. Mr. Hahn stated that we will not know the bottom line price until the last bill is paid which could go over or under the estimate. The $300,000. grant from the County will be lost if the bid is not awarded. Also, if these three bids were rejected and the Village went out to bid again, there is a possibility that we could receive only one bid and that could be higher than Bradhurst's bid. Certain items in the contract may be deleted to reduce the overall cost; this is stated in the resolution. Regular Meeting Mayor Gandolfo called the regular portion of the meeting to order at 8:00 PM with a pledge to the flag. Public Hearing Mayor Gandolfo read the attached public hearing notice regarding establishing a 20mph speed limit on village streets. Dr. Sweet commented that he endorsed this idea but that there is already a state law which only allows 15mph in school zones. Mario DeFelice stated that there is already a Vehicle & Traffic Law which states this. Mario Belanich asked what effect connecting streets with Tarrytown, as Washington Street, would have on this speed limit. Mrs. Murphy asked if a stop sign could be erected at Pocantico Street and Howard Street. 1 �Andrew Hyman asked if there was any statistical research done. The Mayor stated that this hearing cane about because of numerous requests from residents. She also stated that even though there is already a V&T law, the Village would recoup more money from the fines if we were to enact our own ordinance. There being no further comments, Trustee Alter moved to adjourn the hearing for further review, second by Trustee Treacy and motion carried. The Mayor read the attached public hearing notice regarding Dumpsters. Mario Belanich asked if this would be a fee or a fine. The Administrator stated that although we do have an permit fee now, we do not have an ordinance whereby we could impose a fine upon those who do not comply. There being no further comments, Trustee Hyland moved to close the hearing, seconded by Trustee Rey and motion carried. Mayor Gandolfo read the attached public hearing notice prohibiting double parking on village streets. Dr. Sweet and Chick Galella were in favor of this ordinance. Mr. Galella stated that there was a fine for $25. in the Vehicle and Traffic law, but he was in favor of increasing ours to $250. There being no further comments, Trustee Marren moved to close the hearing, second by Trustee Cicchetti and motion carried. Mayor Gandolfo read the attached public notice regarding an amendment to Chapter 16 "Dogs & Other Animals". Karen Ciccarone stated that the language should be checked into if this ordinance is adopted.

The Administrator stated that it depends on the wording of the bond resolution. Trustee Marren stated that we must decide now whether or not to dip into our reserve. How can we approve this project and wait until August for the bond. Trustee Treacy commented it could go into our tax rate next year. The Administrator stated that the use of this cash reserve could have no effect on the tax rate for 1991-92. Hopefully we will be able to get the contractor to agree to certain deletions before the August meeting and the number could be much less. Trustee Marren stated what would happen if we went over the $792,000. The Mayor stated that this is a difficult question to answer and there are many questions which cannot be answered.
